Unless you have 0 trades - then hold.

Genius level move. No one would see it coming.

Pearce could be a straight swap for Barnett too I guess. Even with 5 trades, trading Pearce seems a very luxurious trade.

Peach Train sounding louder, glide on the Peach train!

Also, what are peoples thoughts on Ben Hunt as a captain option if Haas is out?
My other options are Cleary and Teddy who will probably be who most people go with or McInnes who I don't have.

Really regretting not pulling the trigger on HTF to Cotric. Considered it all week but went Niu to Fui instead. Cost me 40 points and seeing the back of HTF.

No one should be captaining Teddy.

I’ll probably look at Hunt, DCE, maybe a punt on Carrigan/JTurbo

Will Joliffe get more minutes with the potential outs at the Titans?

I kind of regret the Fui trade only because he is going to miss this week.

Really crossing my fingers that CS9 makes a return this week. Would be a huge help

So, best buy under 633k?

Shortlist is G Williams, Barnett, MoFo, ARey and Friend if he keeps playing 80.

Position irrelevant, though 2RF would be a bonus.

Friend despite being in atrocious form practically has no choice but to play 80 with all the Roosters outs.

Barnett is getting inflated minutes but should still score 40+ if he drops down to 60 minutes.

At this rate I consider reliable 40's close to keeper level especially for a budget 17th man option. Just the sort of year it is

Munster being back this week would be nice.

JFH's extra 2 points got me to 1,000 on the knocker two weeks running

small wins are great

Makes my trade options a lot easier if he is back. Would replace Haas and I don't technically need to get rid of him. Fermor would replace Sironen so can probably hold trades or make a luxury one

Anyone else do the ancient Cat Stevens 'Peace Train' tune in their head when reading this? Or am I the only one old enough to have og hippy parents?

I am a Fui owner myself. He's off to the judicary tomorrow night. I didn't think there was much in the tackle to be honest, especially not a grade 2!!

Captaincy options for me need to have high floor (unlikely to go sub 50, never go sub 40) plus high ceiling (capable of pulling out a banner)

Koroisau - Plenty of tackles on offer against the Sharks middles with enough attacking upside to go large
Taumalolo - Minutes were down a little this week but might just be Hannay giving him a bit of a breather
Cook - 3 low scores in a row with almost no attacking stats
Cleary - Average boosted by going over 100 twice already this season but pretty good for a 50-60 with no attacking stats
DCE - Probably needs a try to go large, but short of an injury will give at least a 50


Smokey options:

Carrigan - Pack is rubbish outside of him. Can pretty much lock him in for 80 minutes so safe floor but doesn't have that banner like ceiling
Moses - Plenty of kick metres on offer in this game and has a ceiling as good as anyone

Players I wish I owned so I could captain them:

McInnes - The no brainer option with no Haas
Bateman - Attacking stats galore vs a soft Titans edge defense

No hunt??

I'm 99% sure its Captain Cook time for me this week. Due a big score.

I don't even remember it to be honest. Be great if he fights it and gets off.

I think not doing Young to Barnett will haunt me more than selling L. Leilua lol. I could of done Young to Barnett with 1 trade now I can't so will have to use 2 trades. Atm I'm looking at:
Young out - Barnett in
For my 2nd trade it's either:
B. Sironen out - Fermor in or
B. Sironen out - Liddle in

However if Haas is out for 3 games my trades will change as I'll sell Haas.
